Choice and Consequence: A Critical Reading Text

In and Consequence, students read, analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information to develop opinions in order to write strong academic responses. It asks students to engage with the material so that they learn to question what they read, compare and contrast different perspectives on a topic, and formulate hypotheses as they continue to read and then write. The text focuses on teaching students to evaluate sources and arguments. The companion website includes links to interactive quizzes that focus on reading comprehension, text analysis, and vocabulary building. Some practice in writing skills is also available. and Consequence has been written to empower students with the language and concrete understanding of a rather abstract, but important academic, notion: that no choice in writing is made without a resulting consequence.
